Godfather loses more than 10Cr theatrical collections because of producers

0

Normally when a star hero film is released, the makers will plan the film release in such a way that it gets the best possible numbers on the first day. Be it any star hero, huge theatres will be allotted without any delay.

But that’s not the same with Megastar Chiranjeevi’s latest movie Godfather. The movie is a big film and being a star hero’s movie after a long time and that too releasing for a Festival season, everyone expected a huge release but surprisingly the film got a very less number of theaters.

If another star hero releases his movie in competition with Godfather we can understand if it gets fewer theaters. But here there is no competition for the movie as The Ghost and Swathimuthyam are considered small films.

Mega fans are feeling that if any other producer who is aware of proper marketing and theaters management had produced Godfather then the movie would’ve got a very big release.

But NV Prasad failed miserably in handling the release of the movie and due to this movie was released in a very less number of theatres. And what’s more shocking is Godfather has not been released in the main territories for Telugu markets like Australia, the UK, Chennai, and some overseas countries.

Even after the movie got positive talk the number of shows has not increased which is very unusual. Not only Mega fans but other common moviegoers on social media strongly feel that because of the makers worst planning, the movie has lost more than 10 crores in openings which would have brought a big difference to the overall collections.

Adipurush Teaser Marketing is a big lesson for Indian film industry makers and directors

0

The teaser of much awaited mythological drama ‘Adipurush’, which was released a few days ago has been getting a lot of trolls and criticism. Apart from getting bashed for its poor quality of graphics, director Om Raut and team were also criticized for not showcasing Lord Ram, Sita, Ravana, and Hanuman conventionally like earlier films.

Prabhas will be seen as Lord Ram in Adipurush while Kriti Sanon will play the role of Sita and Saif Ali Khan is going to be seen as Ravana.

Normally when the audience responds negatively about any promotional content, the makers or directors of those films overcome those remarks by saying that after the film’s release opinions will be good, or they just say that it was agenda-based negative publicity for their movie from someone who doesn’t like them.

Like this, they will blame others but never try to overcome that negativity. But the Adipurush team hasn’t done the same.

Adipurush teaser has received a unanimously negative response for its bad VFX and uncommon portrayal of Lord Ram and Ravana, The team understood the situation very quickly and started damage control.

Adipurush team latest has screened the 3D teaser in theatres in India wide and after watching the teaser in the 3D version, the audience response has changed, movie lovers and critics have also expressed that the experience in 3D will change everyone’s opinion about the Adipurush team’s efforts.

At the time of screening, the Adipurush team attended the interviews and explained about each thing how they worked and what would be the difference between 2D to 3D. By acting quickly and spontaneously they made all negative responses into a super positive ones, and with this promotional strategy the movie created a massive buzz.

Certainly, we can say that this will be a lesson to other filmmakers and they should learn how to change things by looking at the Adipurush team.

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata TRP is disappointing

0

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata made its world television premiere recently and the ratings have been quite disappointing, to say the least. The action entertainer directed by Parasuram starred Keerthy Suresh opposite Mahesh Babu and was telecasted on TV recently.

The film has registered a lowly TRP of  9.45 making it one of the lowest star hero TRPs in recent times. The HD+SD delivered 11.1 TRP which is still pretty low considering the family following Mahesh has.

The film has opened up with below-par reviews and talk but has managed to collect a share of 117.7Crs at Worldwide Box-office. Worldwide theatrical rights valued at 119.5Crs. Here’s Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata Worldwide Box-office Closing Collections.

Mahesh Babu’s film performance has been termed a one-man show and set the box office on fire with record numbers on opening day. Mahesh will be next seen in SSMB 28 directed by Trivikram.

The movie’s second schedule is planned from October 10th. This will be a big schedule in Ramoji Film City and a huge set has been built for the same. Pooja Hegde will be paired opposite Mahesh Babu and this schedule will see some romantic scenes shot between the lead pair as well.

Haarika and Haasine Creations are bankrolling this project. SS Thaman will compose the music for SSMB28 while Navin Nooli will handle the editing duties.

Mega fans get angry over Garikapati Narasimharao’s comments on Chiranjeevi

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi is very busy with the promotion of the Godfather movie recently. But he also participated in some special programs. He participated in Vijayadashami Navratri celebrations held in Nampally. When people got to know that Megastar was coming, many people came to see him and even many celebrities’ children also came to take pictures with the megastar.

But at the same time Garikapati Narasimha Rao, a famous spiritual speaker who was present there, was annoyed that when his speech started everyone was taking pictures with Megastar Chiranjeevi.

Garikapati Narasimha Rao said that Megastar Chiranjeevi should immediately stop giving the photos and come sit next to him, or otherwise he will leave from there.

The administrators there felt that the matter could be understood by people. However, this shouldn’t have happened in a celebration program. Later Megastar Chiranjeevi also came from there immediately and greeted Garikapati with a smile. After that, the event ended peacefully.

But the comments made by Garikapati and the way he behaved did not look good to mega fans and many other people as well. Mega fans were badly hurt by the inappropriate comments of Garikapati Narasimharao and wanted him to apologize to Chiranjeevi.

People from the Telugu Film Industry are also saying that Garikapati could have asked Chiranjeevi to stop giving photos politely. Because everyone knows that Chiranjeevi is surrounded by fans wherever he goes. So instead of reacting rudely, Garikapati could have avoided these comments and behaved with a little politeness.

And some section of people says that this kind of trivial issue should not be given importance and there are much bigger problems than this in the state. Matters related to the two people should not be taken up by the public. Because if there is a flaw in etiquette, it is enough that those people to talk and no need for others to be involved. Let’s hope that this issue ends without making more controversy.

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s God Father movie is having a steady run at the Box Office. The movie was released on October 5th for Dussera Festival. And it received a good response from the audience as well as the critics. Before the release, there were several doubts that whether the movie will match it’s the original version of the Malayalam movie Lucifer or not.

But the director Mohan Raja was successful in making the necessary changes to the Telugu Version. The audience liked the elevation scenes and dialogues of Chiranjeevi. SS Thaman’s background music also got a thunderous response.

Coming to the Box Office, the movie couldn’t get the required theaters due to releasing in competition with The Ghost and Swathimuthyam. That’s why it did not get huge openings at the Box Office.

But because of the positive talk, the movie had an excellent hold and shares of day 2 are more than 70% of day 1 collections. And what’s more interesting is that in a few Centers second day shares are on par with the first day. God Father movie collected 26 crores of worldwide share for two days.

God Father movie’s Theatrical rights are valued at 80 Crores. And to achieve the break-even mark and to be declared a hit, the film should have a big Jump for the weekend and should continue to produce decent collections on the weekdays.

Godfather movie stars Megastar Chiranjeevi in the lead role and Satyadev, Nayanthara, Samudrakhani, and Murali Sharma in other important roles. Salman Khan played a special guest role. The movie is directed by Mohan Raja and Produced combinedly by R.B. Choudary, and Ram Charan.
